This pending change need to be merged ASAP, as its affecting the production

Why can't you just downgrade to python-bidi<0.5.0 in production? This shouldn't be too hard if it really breaks for you at the moment. xhtml2pdf is still a FOSS package maintained by volunteers in their free time.

It fixed the issue for now.

if you are using github actions, you can downgrade to version 0.4.2

     - name: Install Dependencies
        run: |
          python -m pip install --upgrade pip
          pip install python-bidi==0.4.2
          pip install -r requirements.txt

Version 0.5.1 has been released to fix this for now, after this issue of xhtml2pdf has been reported against python-bidi: https://redirect.github.com/MeirKriheli/python-bidi/issues/23

Hello everyone, any predictions on when a fix for this problem will be released?

Just use python-bidi==0.5.1 - this added backwards-compatibility for now and should work with the existing xhtml2pdf version as well.

Like I mentioned in #766 (comment):

I believe that python-bidi 0.6.0 fixes this:
